ログインIvy’s POV “Bastard”, I muttered as I stared at Matthias and Caleb discussing and the smile on Matthias’s face disgusted me. The scene of him standing stark naked in front of Sofia this morning replayed in my memory and I banged the table in front of me without realizing. “Ivy…. Is anything the problem?”someone asked beside me and I turned to see a lady standing there with a bright smile. “Y-Yes.. I am”, I stuttered and stood upright. “O-Okay”, she said, “My name is Lumi Lark and I am interested in joining your team”, she added and my face brightened. “Really?”, I gushed and held her shoulders before realizing. “O-oh sorry about that”, I said awkwardly and returned my hands to my sides. “Bu why did you meet me on your own? I said I’ll be dropping a link later in the day”, I asked and rested on the table beside me. “I know Ivy but the earlier the better”, she said and I nodded. “You’re right… You can get to work. I’ll let you know when the team will start work”, I said and nodded slig
Matthias’s POV “What the hell is going on here?”Ivy screamed immediately as she entered the room. “Sofia… What happened here? Please just tell me it is not what I am thinking”, she said, closing her eyes as she held her head with her two hands. “I–I– It is not what you think Ivy”, Sofis managed to talk and I quickly picked the towel from the floor to cover my nakedness. “And what do you think I am thinking?”, she asked and frowned. “Is this why you told me to focus on myself and not a relationship with Matthias so that he would realize he has lost a gem”, she asked Sofia and my eyes widened. “What did you just say Ivy? She asked you to stay away from me?”, I asked and faced Sofia. “Tell me it is a joke Sofia”, I chuckled but Sofis kept quiet. “I didn’t mean it that way”, Sofia finally talked and I smirked. “So what do you mean? I have told you that it is over between us, how many times do you want to hear it from me?”, I screamed at the top of my voice and Ivy gasped. “Shit–”, I mut
Matthias’s POV“Hmmm”, I groaned as the ray of light slipped in through the window. I squeezed my eye as I groaned and tried to stand up but I was interrupted. “Uhn”, I exclaimed and saw Ivy’s head placed on my chest carefully as she slept soundly. “Cute”, I chuckled and used my hand to arrange her already scattered hair and that disrupted her sleep. “Good morning, Mat”, she muttered sleepily and used her hand to trace my chest. “Hmm, Ivy… W-What are you trying to do?”, I asked and she chuckled. “What do you think I am trying to do?”, she asked and I hissed. “Get up and let’s get ready for today’s work”, I muttered and tried to stand up but she pulled me back. “What?”I laughed heartily and fell back on the bed loudly. “Don’t forget about my dad, he told me he will send someone to take me away from this place”, she said and I relaxed. “I promised to talk to him and I will make sure I do that”, I said and she smiled. “Thank you!”She screamed and hugged me tightly on the bed. “Hmmm…..

Ivy’s POV “Dad”, I called and tears dropped from my eyes. “I want you back home”, he said and I cleaned the tears that dropped from my eyes. “What… did you just say?”, I asked and sat up on the bed I was lying down on. “You heard me right…”, he said and paused for a while, “... I want you back home”, he added and I chuckled. “That must be a joke right… or… probably a prank”, I said amidst my laughter but I stopped laughing when the line went silent. “You can’t be serious dad”, I muttered and stood up. “I love it here and I am not leaving”, I slammed and he cleared his throat at the other end of the call. “Uhmm…. Ivy… For your information, I do not care about your interest or opinion”, he said and I frowned. “Even when…uhmm… I sent you there, I never cared about your interest and now…. I want you back home and just like I sent you there… I won’t care about your interest”, he slammed and I chuckled. “You time is up…. I want you back home”, he finalized and I sighed heavily with my e
Ivy’s POV “What?”, Matthias screamed and rushed out of the room. “What do we do now?”I asked and ran after him, trying to keep up with his pace. “Let’s get into the lab first”, he replied and like that, we entered the lab together. Murmurs and noise filled the hall from different angles. “What is the plan now?”Matthias asked Sofia and they both settled down on Sofia’s chair to check the news on the internet. “This is exactly what we have been working on”, Matthias muttered as he scrolled through the information Sable Point released on their handle. “Exactly!!”, Sofia said and banged her fist on the table. “How did they get our idea without missing a thing”, she added and rubbed her face with her hands in frustration. “It is possible”, a voice said behind us and we turned to see one of the lab workers standing with his arms akimbo. “It is possible if we have a spy among us”, he added and Matthias nodded. “That is true but we have all been working together for so long ... .I don’t
Matthias’s POV “What the hell”, I muttered when I heard Caleb’s confession to Ivy. I have listened to and watched the drama that has been going on with Ivy since morning. From her lateness into the research lab to Sofia calling her to save her from me and to her cries to something I don’t know but I wish to know and then to this loud confession from Caleb. “Is he sick in the head?”, I muttered and scoffed angrily even when I didn’t plan to. “What are you talking about? What do you mean?”, I heard Ivy’s shaky voice and I turned back to see Caleb still holding her. “Let me go”, she squeezed her face and tried to be free from his hold but Caleb held her tighter. “I don’t care about what you have to say Ivy… I love you and that is final”, Caleb said again and I smirked. “Love?...bullshit”, I thought and without thinking twice, I strolled over to where they were standing. “What is going on here?”, I said when I got to where they were standing. “Let her go”, I added strictly and Ivy winc
Ivy’s POV Even after Matthias left the room, I didn’t leave my spot for about two minutes, still replaying the scene in my head over and over again. The way he stopped on his tracks and the way his eyes hovered over my body for five long minutes. He might not approve of it, but I know that scene m
Nobody had warned me about the silence.I pressed my face closer to the car window as the vehicle wound deeper into the island's interior, watching the landscape roll past in shades of green so vivid they looked almost artificial—dense jungle pressing against both sides of the narrow road, interrup
The first thing I registered was warmth.The second was the soft press of lips against my jaw, my neck, the corner of my mouth—slow and deliberate, the kind of waking up that was designed to make a man forget he had anywhere to be.I opened my eyes.Morning light was cutting through the bedroom win
"What the hell were you thinking, Ivy? Why did I just get a call at six o'clock this morning telling me that my daughter has been expelled from a university again?"My father's voice hit me before I had even fully stepped through the door of his office. I shut it behind me, set my bag down, and loo
